A muslim girl who is not allowed to wear a niqab and was thrown out of school and was brought before a Judge.

  1. The muslim girl
  2. Her parents
  3. The teachers
  4. The High Court
  • What would you do if you were directly involved?

What i would do is to allow the girl to wear her niqab because of her religion and not only this girl but all muslim girls in Englandas well.

Wikispace Reflection

  • What did you learn from this task?

I learned so much about from this task for example I learn all about the history about Zimbabwe and the area around it. Besides that I learn more on Wikispaces and how to work on it.

  • Did you find this difficult or easy? Why?

i find it quite easy at first because its just researching but when it comes to the NooddleBib part i find it very difficult becuase i havent mastered how to work with NoodleBib yet.

  • What would you change about the process you went through to complete the wiki if you were to do the assignment again?

i think i have done enough except for the pictures part and i don’t really think that two weeks is a good time to work on a big thing as this.

 

Reflection for the Presentations

Hearing the name West Africa, at first i thought it was just a not so important country just a place in africa that’s all. But as i learn more in my group and also from the presentations i found out a lot of information about it like some time ago before they had real weopens to help them to hunt and protect they used bones and use it for hunting and protection.

I was also aware that sometimes the groups are having a hard time explaining and knowing what the questions  others give about the topic meant; maybe they are not that prepared that mch or they didn’t have that information so they can’t explain properly.

Challenges

                 This nation’s three major challenging problems are that they have no political leader, the condition of the weather over there and the number of diseases. The problem of not having a political leader is when this country has a major problem they need someone wiser to help them to solve the problem.                                

                 The other problem of the weather, is when drought comes their crops die and they have nothing to eat then they will starve to death. The last major problem with the diseases, some of the diseases they will have is having malaria and dengue fever; which is very hazardous to some people at that country.

‘What I learned about geography so far : . . .’

What I learned about geography is that there are two branches of geography, Physical and Human geography. Physical geography is based on land, water, flora, fauna and climates;while Human geography is based on people in thier phisycal world,it studies their relationship with the environment as well as their activities and progress in adapting themselves to the world and turning the environment to their personal needs.

Current Event: Protesters barge into state radio station.

What is the issue?

This issue is that the people in Hungary are angry with thier governor for cheating during the election.

Who was involved?

The citizens of Hungary and the police.

Who was affected and how?

The people in the radio station was affected because the people are throwing stones  at the building of the radio station to broadcast thier complaints.

What would I do if i were directly involved?

I would do try to stop the people from vandalizing the building and just tell them another way that is much better like asking the Prime Minister to let another more better person than Ferenc Gyurcsany be the new Prime Minister.

 with my brother and sister.
I went to visit my grandparents in Klang, to visit my relatives from my mother’s side, and also to eat the delicious food my grandmother cooked! It was a satisfying holiday for me.

What I learned about current events so far …

What I have learned about current events so far is that the article must be appropriate and is something that will change other people’s life like for example :

  • Hurricanes
  • Flash floods
  • Earthquakes
  • Tsunamis

Those articles must also be in history books and will also be knowned by people in the future

Hurricane Katrina

My article is about this hurricane one year ago in the American city of New Orleans, killing nearly 1,700 people and leaving thousands of others homeless.President George Bush attended a church service in that city, and also he had decided to rebuilt the homes for all the homeless people.But some still say he will only do for the wealthy parts of the city and not for the rest.
